Indium’s Sze Pei Lim to Present on Solder Joint Reliability at IMPACT Conference in Taipei

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Indium Corporation Senior Global Product Manager for Semiconductor and Advanced Materials, Sze Pei Lim, will be part of a panel presentation at the International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology (IMPACT) conference in Taipei, Taiwan on October 27. The presentation will cover the findings from a technical paper titled The Effects of Voids on Solder Joint Reliability in First Level Interconnect.

First level interconnect (FLI), e.g., flip-chip attach on substrate or wafer, using solder as the interconnect material, is employed extensively in advanced packaging assembly. During the flip-chip die-attach process, some voids are often formed in the solder joints. In the past, this may not have been seen as a major issue since the voiding percentage is typically less than 10%; however, as miniaturization continues, the solder joint of FLI is becoming smaller (
